Back in the day Ashley Cole was given dogs’ abuse for going from Arsenal to Chelsea, but there just seems to be no proper animosity now from fans towards former players. Cech, David Luiz, Giroud and now Havertz have all gone to the other side, but no one really seems to care and all those listed seem to still be well respected by their former club (apart from Havertz, who no one seems to care about either way).

Why has this rivalry died off? Arsenal and Tottenham players would never transfer to each other, nor Man United players to city or liverpool etc.

Nah, maybe global Arsenal fans don't hate Chelski fans.

But anyone who grew up in the UK with them buying leagues after coming from the championship/bankruptcy/mid table fucking despises them. They literally paved the way for City to ruin football and the prem.

A lot of Chelsea fans are racist. They had a literal recruitment office for a far right nazi group outside of their stadium. But even the non racist ones just aren't nice people.

They stole a lot of Arsenal's players by being fraudulent and paying money that they didn't have - any Arsenal fan that doesnt think they should be dissolved as a club isn't a real gooner.

(yes I am bitter about the UCL's)

Coming from this fanbase, irony.

Coming from the fan of a club who's whole foundation is built on a promotion "earned" while not finishing in the promotion places.

Not to mention Wengers title winning teams were funded by money you didn't have.
